Thanks for your replies Stanley & Canadawecome . I was thinking along the same lines as well. I'm in the process of collecting all the required docs for making an OINP application. I got some new problems as well. One is regarding the proof of work experience. I wish to claim NOC 3131 (Industrial Pharmacist), for which I have to submit an employment letter stating my working hours, job duties , compensation on company's letterhead. I have recently moved from a service based firm (which works in pharmaceutical domain , though the company's name has a 'software' tag) to generic pharmaceutical company in India, although in the same domain. Now, my ex employer is not willing me to give anything of that sort except a standard reliving letter, which states my tenure with the company and my designation. I tried contacting my supervisor/manager requesting an employment letter on company letter head but in vain. With no option left, I made a notarized self declaration stating my job duties. I printed out the domain services that my ex employer provides to pharmaceutical clients from the company's website that matches my notarized self declaration in support of it. My appointment letter, has the details of compensation and working hours per week on company's letterhead. I then wrote a covering letter in support of my experience stating that , to compensate for my inability to get a reference letter from my ex employer, I'm give them a copy of my appointment letter with my compensation and working hours per week details, a notarized self declaration supported by copies of excerpts from their website with closely matched domain services, a copy of standard reliving letter that was issued to me, copies of my available pay stubs (last 6 months) , copies of email correspondence with both my company's HR and supervisor.
Now, this just one part of my problem. I have worked with my ex-employer from 27th May 2014-25th May 2015, falling short of 2 days to complete an anniversary (although I worked for a minimum of 40 hours/week, and my appointment letter states this explicitly). I had about 20 days of break and then joined my current employer and I'm 10 more days shy, to clock 8 months here. Fearing that I might face same sort of reply here, if I were to ask for an employment reference letter, I drafted my job duties and working hours per week on company's letter head (well, I use letter heads as daily part of my work here) and I got it signed with a senior colleague of mine and stamped it with a company's seal. So, its all original. Nothing forged, its just that its not from my manager. But , nowhere did CIC state that it has to be given by my manger. My salary details are in my appointment letter, which is again on a company's letter head with a company's seal on it.
The other problem is funds. Well, $12,000 savings is sort of unaffordable thing for me here in India, considering the Indian currency and dollar disparity and my wage as well. So, my dad deposited equivalent Indian currency of $14,000 (Conversion rate at 1CAN$ =50 INR) in my name like 20 days ago, The deposits are mature at the moment and are ready to be liquidated any time. As, the money is deposited in my name technically/legally its my money and IS NOT BORROWED ONE. Now, that's the version of the Banker and taxmen I know. Should I liquidate this deposit into my account and give my bank statements of six months, at the time of submission of my application for OINP or just tick the fixed or time deposit statement ?
What do you guys suggest ?Please let me know.
P.S: Sorry for the long post
